    Talking Pollcocks S3 EP3 - Lets Talk About Kemi

    Kemi Badenoch.... The new leader of the Conservative party was up at the dispatch box for her second PMQ's. It wasn't the glowing performance that I am sure she was hoping for. However, it also wasn't a stellar performance from Sir Keir, so that may provide her some comfort! What else is happening in Parliament this week? Well there is the big Assisted Dying bill being brought to the house. While this is quite a somber topic, it is incredibly important in the national conversation and it is right that as a country, we are finally talking about it! And finally, there is always President-Elect Trump to provide some good (and funny) decisions as he is preparing to take office in January! Don't forget, you can get in touch with us by emailing talkingpollocks@criffnsean.com!!

The budget has many tax rises, many spending increases and much more borrowing, join Criff & Sean as they take a look at what Labour have done and if it was in their manifesto!! In more recent events (I did say it is fast moving), Donald Trump has returned.... make of that, what you will!

    Talking Pollocks! Episode 8: Our very first guest!!

    The internet is something that the majority of us will use on a daily basis and even more so for the younger generation. With the developments in technology, staying safe in the digital world can be incredibly difficult! We are joined this week by, Urban Venture, a Twitch streamer, and we are talking to him about his experiences in the online spaces and his opinion on how the internet is used as a political tool to share information. Also delving into the danger of misinformation and the clear example we have seen in the last few weeks in the UK, and do we feel that the government does enough to tackle online crime and incitement.

    Talking Pollocks! Episode 7 (Live): Britain, Why are you being a D***?

    It's the summer recess for Parliament in the UK, but that doesn't mean the fun stops here at Talking Pollocks. Even though the house is not sitting, there is plenty of ongoing events for us to discuss! With MANY countries now issuing travel advice to their citizens who maybe travelling to the UK, we discuss the ongoing riots across the UK which were sparked by the horrific deaths of 3 young girls and then a deluge of misinformation spreading online! Who is responsible for these riots and the misinformation that has caused it? It's not a simple topic and we do not tar everyone with the same brush! It is important to say that these rioters do not represent everyone in the UK and it was a heart warming moment when the Anti-Racism protests showed that we are better than this!! You can send in your thoughts and comments to Criff & Sean by emailing them at talkingpollocks@criffnsean.com. We would love to hear your thoughts on how this election campaign is swaying you!!
